Product information

    • Improved efficiency on split temperature systems due to high and low temperature return connections.
    • Non-dependent on system flow allowing wide differential temperatures.
    • Easier installation with no requirement for dedicated primary circuit and no minimum flow rates.
    • Tolerant to a wide range of system water conditions with a corrosion resistant stainless steel heat exchanger.
    • Long life backed up by a 5-year heat exchanger warranty.
    • Well insulated for low standby losses.
    • NOx emissions comply with ErP legislation lower than 56mg/kWh.
    • Match heating system loads accurately with outputs up to 637kW from a single boiler and ability to cascade multiple boilers.
    • Simplified flue system design as the flue gas non-return valve is built in to provide effective protection from re-circulation of flue gases through non-firing boilers.
    • Built in boiler sequence controls capable of controlling up to 16 boiler modules, multiple heating circuits and a hot water circuit using the master/slave principle.
    • Quick release access panels for ease of service and maintenance.
    • BIM objects available to assist in design and management.

Testimonials

We specified the Varmax based on resilience and life expectancy. Other than this, we find the pull-out step on this model and the integral light fitting to be very practical for commissioning and servicing the boiler.
